    The good parts of the show are lost when you completely bend the knee to Jon Gruden. Have the guy on, but don’t act like the guy is the greatest thing around. You continue to alienate large portions of your audience. I’ll check back in a year.

  • Updating my 1 star review

    Checked in after a long break and last week the station that supported Sarah Spain and many other women just posted an hour focused on googling women 20-40 years their junior. It started as a joke and made it’s way to awful. My childhood Waddle jersey (who has several daughters and lets it slide) will continue to gather cobwebs
